Case Studies & Project Portfolio

• Tire Maharashtra, India

  10 TPD Tire Pyrolysis & Distillation Plant

  Feedstock:

  Whole end-of-life truck and passenger tires (shredded)

  Capacity:

  10 tonnes/day

  Products:

  Distilled diesel fraction, light naphtha, recovered carbon black (rCB), steel wire

  Integrated on-site PUREMAX fractional distillation unit producing diesel-specification fuel directly, eliminating third-party oil processing. Achieved 45% oil yield with desulfurized diesel fraction meeting IS 1460 specifications.

• Biomass Netherlands

  20 TPD Biomass-to-Biochar Plant for CDR

  Feedstock:

  Forestry residues (wood chips, bark) and clean wood waste

  Capacity:

  20 tonnes/day

  Products:

  Puro.earth-certified biochar, bio-oil, syngas (self-use for process heat)

  Achieved Puro.earth carbon removal certification and ISCC Plus sustainability certification. Biochar with >80% fixed carbon sold into European voluntary carbon markets, with syngas providing energy self-sufficiency.

• Plastic Southeast Asia

  5 TPD Plastic-to-Oil Pyrolysis Plant

  Feedstock:

  Post-consumer mixed polyolefins (HDPE, LDPE, PP) and polystyrene

  Capacity:

  5 tonnes/day

  Products:

  Pyrolysis oil (naphtha-range) for petrochemical feedstock

  PYROMAX reactor achieved 75-80% oil yield on polyolefin-rich feedstock, with consistent quality suitable for steam cracker feedstock. Product oil sold to regional petrochemical offtaker under long-term supply agreement.

• Tire Middle East

  30 TPD Continuous Tire Pyrolysis Facility

  Feedstock:

  Legacy stockpiled tire waste (passenger and truck tires)

  Capacity:

  30 tonnes/day (continuous operation)

  Products:

  Pyrolysis oil, recovered carbon black (rCB), steel wire

  Engineered for extreme ambient temperatures (50 degrees C+) with enhanced cooling systems and heat-rated instrumentation. Fully automated with SCADA-based remote monitoring, processing a government-contracted legacy tire stockpile.

• Biomass India

  15 TPD Biomass Pyrolysis for Steel Industry

  Feedstock:

  Coconut shell and palm kernel shell (low-ash biomass)

  Capacity:

  15 tonnes/day

  Products:

  Industrial-grade biochar (>85% fixed carbon), bio-oil

  Biochar produced to specification as pulverized coal injection (PCI) replacement for steel blast furnaces. Fixed carbon consistently above 85% with ash below 5%, qualifying as a coal-to-biochar decarbonization pathway for heavy industry.

• Plastic Europe

  8 TPD Plastic Pyrolysis with ISCC Plus Certification

  Feedstock:

  Post-industrial plastic waste, LDPE/PP packaging film

  Capacity:

  8 tonnes/day

  Products:

  ISCC Plus-certified pyrolysis oil (naphtha fraction)

  One of APChemi's 4 ISCC PLUS-certified plants. Full mass-balance chain-of-custody documentation enabled certified oil to be sold as chemical recycling feedstock to a major European petrochemical company at premium pricing.

• Mixed Waste East Africa

  25 TPD Mixed Waste Pyrolysis Plant

  Feedstock:

  Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from municipal solid waste

  Capacity:

  25 tonnes/day

  Products:

  Pyrolysis oil, char for construction materials, recovered metals

  Engineered for highly variable feedstock composition typical of developing-market municipal waste. Integrated pre-processing line with shredding, ferrous/non-ferrous metals separation, and rotary drying to condition heterogeneous RDF to within reactor specifications.

• Oil Processing India

  Pyrolysis Oil Purification & Distillation Facility

  Feedstock:

  Crude tire and plastic pyrolysis oil

  Capacity:

  15,000 litres/day (5M+ litres/year)

  Products:

  Light naphtha, desulfurized diesel fraction, heavy fuel oil, PUROIL-grade purified oil

  APChemi's own PUREMAX fractional distillation facility, commissioned in 2019, processes crude pyrolysis oil into specification-grade fuel products. Serves dual purpose as a commercial production unit and R&D platform for oil upgrading research across tire, plastic, and biomass-derived oils.

• Biomass South Asia

  Biomass Gasification Pilot Plant

  Feedstock:

  Rice husk and agricultural straw residues

  Capacity:

  3 tonnes/day (pilot scale)

  Products:

  Producer gas for thermal application, biochar (35-40% yield from rice husk)

  Pilot-scale gasification plant tested at APChemi's R&D facility demonstrating dual-product approach: clean syngas for industrial heating and high-value rice husk biochar with 35-40% yield for soil amendment and carbon credit applications.

APChemi's project experience spans the full range of pyrolysis applications.
